Feng Shui your bedroom and achieve positive
energy in your life
Applying Feng Shui to your
bedroom is done with the goal in mind of creating an
environment that is simultaneously alluring, stimulating and
relaxing. This article outlines a few simple and affordable
steps you can take to create the perfect Feng Shui bedroom.
The single
most important dynamic affecting the Feng Shui of your bedroom
is the position of your bed. In line with Feng Shui practices,
your bed should be placed in what has become known as the
'command position'. The position of your bed becomes important
because the bedroom is a space where most of us spend at least
one third of our daily routine.
The bedroom is also an area
where we seek out unparalleled nourishment and healing for our
souls. The command position refers to the position of your bed
in relation to the point of entry/exit of your bedroom. Your
bed should always face the door from the far side of the room;
however, it should not be positioned directly in front of the
door. You will benefit from this arrangement because the door
is the space where circulating life energy, or Chi, enters your
bedroom. In addition to this, always have your bed against a
solid wall (the wall should be behind you as you lie in bed).
This element of a Feng Shui compliant bedroom keeps you in
command of the space that is open in front of you, thus
rendering you better equipped to face life directly. Below is a
list of things you should avoid:
- Absolutely no televisions, computers or exercise
equipment should be kept in the bedroom. An influx of
modern technology upsets the balance that feng Shui thrives
upon.
- Do not leave doors open at night. This includes bedroom
doors, bathroom doors and cupboard doors.
- Do not keep windows closed for extended periods of
time. If this is not an option for you then invest in a air
purifying system for your bedroom.
- Candles are the best for lighting the Feng Shui
bedroom, however, always make sure they are non-toxic
candles.
- Steer clear of gloomy or forlorn wall hangings or
paintings in your bedroom. The negative energy associated
with images of this nature creates bad Feng Shui.
Finally, position your bed so
that it is easily accessible from both sides and include two
bedside tables (one on each side for balance). A quality,
well-balanced bed is a crucial factor in creating positive Feng
Shui in your bedroom.
